Food without fire: Environmental and nutritional impacts from a solar stove field experiment
Abstract Over 80% of the population in rural Sub‐Saharan Africa relies on biomass cooking fuel, a substantial source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. We use a field experiment in Zambia to investigate the impact of solar stoves on biomass fuel use and cooking habits.

Effect of Biofertilizer on Growth and Yield Parameters of the Okra Plant
Phosphorus is one of the plant micronutrients affecting cell division and molecular growth, such as nucleic acid, phospholipids, ATP, and so on. The presence of PSB could help turn insoluble phosphate in the soil into soluble phosphate for better growth. Potassium participates in homeostasis, osmoregulation, the function of the enzymes, etc., which can
